Hi mak,

I'm trying built a stop watch for my program.

What have you tried so far?

I want to built a stop watch with start, stop(pause) and reset button

That request comes up very often. Sounds like homework to me…

but dont affect main program

Use a parallel loop…

i want to display watch as seconds, minutes, hours and days(all are in seperate numeric indicator

When you need seperate indicators some additional math is involved. But it's just some very basic math and easy to program…

please help me...

I would never ask a mechanic to fix my car without bringing my car to him.  Please post some code so we can help.

I know I shouldn't but here is an idea of what you could do. It only handles seconds though. You'll have to try to convert them in hours and days on your own, and as long as you try the community will help I'm sure.

I think it is fine providing solutions to a user.  Some times seeing how others do it helps understand different ways of doing it.  But you mentioned needing to do math to display minutes and hours, but all you need to do is change the display format of the indicator.  Attached is an updated version.

Nice. In my haste I didn't think of that.
